Senators serve 6-year terms, with half of the senators elected every 3 years. This way, the Senate is a continuous body. The first elections held for the current senate was in 1992. In that election, the top 12 senators served until 1998, while the bottom 12 served until 1995 only. Thereafter, each senator elected serves the full 6 years.

The senate hasn't always been complete. Currently, there are 23 senators after Senator Teofisto Guingona was appointed vice-president following the ascension of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to presidency.
